Occurs when underwater earthquakes and volcanoes erupt.
What is a Tsunami?

What is a seismograph?
These volcanoes are most common.
What are Cinder Cones?
The Ring of Fire is located around this oceanic plate.
What is the Pacific Plate?
Hawaii is an example of this.
What is a Hotspot?
These are on of the main causes of tsunamis.
What is a landslide?
A seismograph converts energy so it can be used on this device.
What is a seismometer?
These volcanoes are the most destructive.
What are Calderas?
This process causes the Ring of Fire to be so destructive.
This type of plate is known to subduct.
What is an oceanic plate?

There are three type of plate boundaries.
What are transform, divergent, and convergent.
Tsunamis can reach speeds up to this number.
What is 500 mph?
This number shows the number of times each magnitude level differs in each other by energy released. Such as a magnitude 5 earthquake releases this much for energy than a magnitude 4 one.
What is 32?
This type of volcano is the tallest type of volcano. An example of this type of volcano is Mauna Loa.
